Hi everybody,

 

Hoping somebody can help me here.

 

I would like to purchase the lense in title, from what my research shows it wont be compatible. Friend of mine said that he can use the lense with this camera, so I'm confused.

 

I've attached what i believe my camera model is

 

Thanks for any assistance

The D90 can't use lenses with electronically controlled aperture. It needs mechanically actuated aperture. The 24-70G works beautifully, though and can still be found new.

Thank you Peter for confirming. Is there a VR lens that can be used with my camera?

The 16-80 is a close to ideal walk-around quality zoom for DX cameras. The older 16-85 is no slouch either.

 

If you have plans for eventually going FX, the current 24-120 would be a good choice.
